• Earl Lewis (right) and operations manager Jack Shay study the film camera chain that was designed and developed at WTVJ. This camera chain incorporates all the best characteristics of other circuits, and reproduces film with real "live show" quality. EARL LEWIS, Chief Engineer WTVJ, Miami, Florida fELE VISION, TELEVISION i • WTVJ uses a three-camera mobile squad to telecast the spectacular "King Orange" Bowl parade along Miami's palm-fringed Biscayne Boulevard. Audience for this event last New Year's Eve was nationwide. By carrying the network programs of ABC, CBS, DuMont, and NBC, Station WTVJ, in turn, brings to Miami viewers the best in television from leading studios all over the country. GENERAL '"YYZE'RE PROUD of that figure on tubes, and it ▼» covers four years' telecasting — ever since we started. A record to match it is our 7 minutes' total transmitter time off the air from tube trouble, for the same four years. I'll stack those low WTVJ figures up against the best anywhere ! "It's our policy not to wait for tubes to give out, but replace them when tests show they're near the end of useful life. Even with that precaution, our off-the-air time wouldn't be as low as it is, except for G-E tube reliability. A pair of GL-7D21's has been operating 13,000 hours, while WTVJ's spares collect dust. That's top performance! "When we need new tubes, they're delivered to us "on the double". Efficient Miami tube distribution sees to that!" Your station can have the same benefits of low tube cost . . . minimum time off the air from tube trouble . . . fast delivery of needed replacements. Phone your G-E tube distributor! He's equipped and ready to serve you well. Tube Department, General Electric Co., Schenectady 5, N. Y. "^^.YEARS OF ELECTRICAL PROGRESS ELECTRIC Broadcasting Telecasting May 11, 1953 • Page 59
